Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Strong Desire to Possess (2)_1

But she was destined not to get it, because the Ruanlin Family saw their Little Jiaojiao rush in like a little firecracker, hugging her thigh and cooing adorably, "Grandma, hungry!"

"Oh my, such a sweet treasure you’ve exhausted." Ruanlin Family said with incredible indulgence, picking her up from the ground, letting Jianguo and the others help themselves to their meal, while she took Jiaojiao to her special little stool.

"This is for you, eat up!" Not long ago, Du Qing had sent over a perch, which Ruanlin Family had been saving. She allowed no one else to eat it but prepared a special meal just for Jiaojiao alone. The fish was steamed to perfection, resulting in a broth that was both rich and creamy, looking supremely delicious.

In her past life, Jiaojiao was a cat, and indeed, her favorite food was fish. However, she lived in the forest and had never eaten fish before.

Taking a sip of the soup from Ruanlin Family’s hand, she immediately squinted her big eyes in enjoyment, smacking her little mouth with delight.

"Yummy!"

"What a little gluttonous cat," Jianguo laughed from beside her, teasing her on purpose by stretching his chopsticks towards her, "Can Daddy have a little bite?"

Of course, Jiaojiao knew he was just teasing her. So she purposefully guarded her bowl with her tiny hands, shaking her head, "No, it’s Jiaojiao’s alone, nobody else gets any."

"You!" Ruanlin Family and Jianguo both laughed, amused by her protective actions over her food.

Wa Yiting stood at the entrance of the hall, once again forgotten as if she had been sent to Java.

Perhaps it was the depth of her resentment, but finally, Ruanlin Family looked over, as if suddenly remembering. She slapped her thigh and asked, "Xiaoting, are you hungry? Do you want a bite to eat?"

Wa Yiting looked at Jiaojiao’s bowl, declining with reserved manners, but her eyes were filled with longing. The Ruan Family’s meals were something she wouldn’t even dare to dream of at the Wa Family.

Ruanlin Family didn’t wait for her response and turned to fill a bowl with rice, then picked some vegetables from the table and handed it to her, "Eat up, thank you for helping Grandma Ruan today. Otherwise, I really would have been too busy."

Ruanlin Family’s words were meant to be polite, but Wa Yiting took them as if she had indeed provided great help. Her eyes immediately lit up as she held the bowl she was given, her gaze shifting towards Jiaojiao, laced with a hint of pride.

"..." Jiaojiao thought to herself, this female protagonist must be toxic! Can’t she hear that Grandma’s words are just out of politeness?

She rolled her eyes ungraciously and then noticed Xiaobai shrunk near the entrance. Feeling a tug at her heart and a self-disgust, her legs honestly carried her to him, pulling him inside.

"Time to eat!" She pushed him down to sit, placing a bowl beside herself, then picked up a chopstick full of fish for him, "Tasty."

Xiu Xi looked at her, then at the fish she had picked for his bowl, remembering that she hadn’t even shared with Jianguo but had given some to him. His small face immediately brightened up, he lifted his head, and ate happily.

Jiaojiao was completely unaware of his imaginative thoughts, simply finding his mood changes quite erratic. Without paying him further attention, she continued to eat.

Midway through the meal, Wa Yiting tried to approach with her bowl, but before Jiaojiao could react, Xiu Xi raised his head. A single cold glance from his dark eyes was enough to frighten her into stopping in her tracks and backing away.

Assured they would not be disturbed again, Xiu Xi withdrew his gaze.

After lunch, Jiaojiao typically felt sleepy. Xiu Xi left right after eating. Wa Yiting wanted to curry favor with the Ruanlin Family by helping with chores, but Ruanlin Family was busy putting Jiaojiao to sleep and paid her no mind. After remaining there for a while and probably finding it dull, Wa Yiting sadly left.
